My third year anniversary of being diagnosed with bone and liver mets was this past January. Since I was given such a poor prognosis when I was first diagnosed, due to the poor condition of my liver ( it was covered in tumors and shutting down ) I have made it a point to celebrate each anniversary in a special way.

This year we went to Steamboat CO for a 10 day ski trip again. I faced the day at the top of Steamboat mountain, getting ready to ski down, thinking of all the things I have been able to live and do since my initial diagnosis.

I am now starting my 4th year of living with mets, and continue to snow ski 30-40 days a year, water-ski in the summer, rock climb, golf, travel, scuba dive, and enjoy life.

Life is sure changing for a bc mets patient today, QOL of life means alot to me and thanks to Herceptin and other new treatments our life expectancy has now become ???? possibly inching up into the double digits or beyond.

May we all continue to do well in 2007!!!!
